General Theory of Crime has considered low self-control as the main cause of crime, and the Low Self-Control Scale (LSCS) is the tool derived from this theory to measure it. However, a debate exists about self-control dimensionality, and the LSCS has been used as a suitable tool in spite of this discussion. The present work explored the LSCS psychometric properties in 272 offender and non-offender adolescents from Argentina. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the scale is best represented by a bifactor structure, so a general latent self-control factor exists beyond its elements and vice versa. Internal consistency indexes were good to excellent for total and elements scores. Criterion validity analyses indicated that risk-seeking and self-centered subscales are associated with different types of deviance to the same extent as the total scale. The present study aims to provide new evidence on the use of the LSCS in research and professional practice.

西班牙版低自我控制量表的验证:双因素模型方法

犯罪通论认为低自控力是犯罪的主要原因,低自控力量表(LSCS)就是从这一理论衍生出来的衡量它的工具。然而,关于自我控制维数存在争议,尽管进行了讨论,但 LSCS 已被用作合适的工具。目前的工作探讨了来自阿根廷的 272 名罪犯和非罪犯青少年的 LSCS 心理测量特性。验证性因素分析表明,该量表最好用双因素结构表示,因此一般潜在的自我控制因素存在于其元素之外,反之亦然。总分和要素分的内部一致性指标从良好到优秀。标准效度分析表明,寻求风险和以自我为中心的分量表与不同类型的偏差与总量表的相关程度相同。本研究旨在为 LSCS 在研究和专业实践中的使用提供新的证据。
